oh the weather outside is frightful,
but the partying is so delightful!
winter break dears,
it's all patron and presents,
congratulashayla on finishing up soph fall semester...

MONDAY
F. is home, K.'s off, of course they're gonna be at their collective home, roosevelt field mall
perusing at sephora, americaneagle, urban outfitters, and other stores F. was deprived of

TUESDAY
surprise! F. and K. are back at the mall, this time with A.H.
later that evening, F. and L. have dinner at the outback to visit K.
then to the witch's brew for tea and desserts, with the addition of S.D. back from the tiny little state of rhode island
K. and F. get into the holiday spirit, wrapping presents while high is not such a great idea and end in badly wrapped presents
party monster starring seth green and macauley culkin was playing, F. was not enjoying it and ponders the horrible nature of man

WEDNESDAY
cookies for breakfast, more malling,
and for evening activities,
F. at W.'s to pregame, looks like F.P.'s jealous that F. and J.H. are bffs, btw yes K. is his gf
A., K.F., and M.F. pick F. up,
F. brought them orange juice and patron in red cups to drink on the way to tin alley's a bar in garden city,
which ust so happens to have carol-oke going on tonight
F. picks britney's circus to sing, only because she couldn't pick miley cyrus' party in the usa, you know she was sad
M.F. picks out a group of boys, F. takes a seat over next to them, kicking a girl off of hers, oh well
there's a D., a P., and a D. that F. hates just by name association
although they didn't get to sing lady gaga, F., A., K., and M. team up to sing britney,
A. and F. tear up the dancefloor when i will survive comes on,
F. hanging out with the old men, one who sings frank sinatra another who shakes her hand and says that he's a world war II veteran,
at the bar, F. unfortunately gets zero patron, but does get a shot of tequila out of bartender C.
G. sitting next to her tries to persuade her to go up and dance on the bar, sorry G. you're not a v credible source especially since you've gotten kicked out of the bar before
M.F. saves the day as her D. is driving,
F.'s gotta ride on D.'s lap, he tries to persuade her to sleepover, and that he'd take her home in the morning,
sorry D., looks like you've forgotten that tomorrow's christmas eve,
the popo comes to stop them, good thing D. really is sober because the popo were totally cool with giving him sobriety tests...

THURSDAY
back at the mall in the daytime, F. and sis D. are shopping,
F. picks out D.'s boyfriend J.C.'s christmas present at the bookstore
W.'s for present wrapping, cleaning and watching speed racer
christmas eve bitches,
cheating with the present opening
F.'s got a pink snuggie, oh the possibilities

FRIDAY
christmas day, everything's closed, F. does it the adult way,
not scrambling in the early morning to get to the gifts,
waking up in the afternoon, opening presents in the early evening
if you're a little kid, all you want for christmas is your two front teeth
if you're a college student, all you want for christmas is probably money and drugs

SATURDAY
mallin' for the sales
urban outfitters in chaos, sale items are an extra 50% off
lindsay lohan leggings and ray ban aviators later, F. is ready to go
for evening activities, spotted at applbee's
F. and K. and frrrrrritas aka frozen margaritas with A. and J.S.
K. and F. at the boys' house to pick up some items

SUNDAY
does dunkin donuts have a thing where they won't charge the customer for ordering one munchkin,
but gives them 10 anyway?
because that seems to be a trend for F., in newark and in long beach,
and we all know she can't say no to those chocolate glazed munchkins...

awesome first week,
and it's only gonna get colder,
and with that is a direct relationship to get warm via alky consumption
those new years' eve parties are gonna take care of that

till next week kids,

xoxo G.G.

I got this book for Christmas, it's all sketches, designs and concept art for the film..


LOVE it. although I just wish there was more, it is a bit skimpy.
It's incredible the amount of effort and detail that went in to creating everything on Pandora- the plant life, the animals and the design of the Na'avi people. It's mindblowing.


Went to the library today and picked up a Kafka book and Kazuo Ishinguro's Never Let Me Go. I hope I like it. The movie is slated to come out some time next year.


oh. and yeah. i mean, I need to see Avatar again. I might just go by myself if I have to, I don't care.

I like knowing exactly where I am.

I saw Avatar with Phil in the city tonight
it wasn't even like watching a movie..
it was an EXPERIENCE
i sound like a nerd but it's true
and i'd never seen a movie in 3d before but it was awesome
i'll probably see it at least two more times

i rushed out of my house this morning and forgot socks, worst thing ever my feet have never been this cold in my entire existence

in other news being home is boring i just sit in my room and read and troll the internet and eat cookie dough ugh i need a hobby

this week, everyone's still in newark, but classes aren't happening anymore,
it's really all finals.
and i'm not just talking about the big-counts-for-30%-of-your-grade exams.
time to see if you really learned your lessons this year,
in class, as well as out...

MONDAY
A. shares a little secret they're hoarding at laurel hall for free,
we all know F.'s gotta get in on that,
she didn't have to sell more of her textbooks for it
at pencader for lunch, none other than J.E. ended up sitting a table away from A. and F., what a great coincidence
after lunch, the pair head off to the tennis courts on laird waiting for their ride
K.M.'s comes around in his 2009 harley davidson motorcycle for A. and F. to play with, and play they did
F. actually got all the way to pennsylvania before deeming it too cold in her urban outfitters sunglasses and way-too-large motorcycle helmet
A.G. spotted at pencader for dinner, what's he doing so far north

TUESDAY
lifespan development final day,
despite yesterday's motorcycle adventures taking up her time, F. still walked away with an A for that class, can we say win-win?
F. missing trainer betty aka M.H. and tries to be her, picking up a large coffee at central perk before heading to the little bob for an intense workout
another coincidence at cucina di napoli, it's none other than B.L. and friend having lunch,
while F. comes in in her gym gear looking like a total slob, of course she would
walking back from the gym, F. and M.C. meet in front of jastak-burgess, talking about a possible wake and bake
A. and F. seeing the apartments above cucina,
coincidentally enough A.L.'s girl, infamous for hating on F., was one of the girls who lived there who happened to have to show the potential renters her apartment, awkward heys all around
S.R.'s leaving today, and for good. implications? we'll see.
it seems that every time studying is supposed to happen, F. finds something else to do that is completely counterproductive
in this case, F. goes down to south college, is it still hanukkah by the way?
nevertheless, F. gets her calvin klein leather cuff bracelet back, J.E. recites the torah, and they eat a burger and fries from kildare's

WEDNESDAY
what a funny turn of events, F. wakes up from sleeping the wrong way, with a stiff neck
but let's all just say she got that from not-sleeping
A. and F. meet up for lunch, opting for the hot dog vendor cart in front of the five and dime instead of the usual places on main street
F.'s got an old hickory dog, A. wanted 2 but had to settle for 1, B.S. passes by (another coincidence)
F.'s off to her second final of the week, and doesn't smile till way later, at dinnertime
D.K. spotted, in that yellow carlton shirt he loves so much, and strangely enough, accessorized with a pair of prescription eyeglasses
F. calls him out on the glasses, even goes so far as trying to say he was high
alternative hypothesis has been rejected, he just damaged his cornea
F., A., J.S., D.S., R.C., C.E., and later Z.R. taking up a table,
A.'s boy A. funnily enough sitting with D.K. and C.L.
topics of dinner include: D.K. and how he looks weird with his glasses, C.L. and the girls' individual stories about him (due to B.S.' pimping out, F.'s slept in C.'s bed but did nothing, R. tried to deny that they've hooked up, A. literally walked away from the table because he left to make a phone call that one night at ivy)
F. can't do anything tonight, so she resigns to shots of bacardi gold with the roomie and the new disney animated film the princess and the frog, well hey it's set in 1920s new orleans, that's the connection

THURSDAY
spotted: A.G. and F. at bleeker street for a goodbye lunch
A.G. giving some sound advice on how to make that creeper stop communicating with F., well he should know
a big package came in for F. today all the way from ocean city, new jersey
betty got veronica some awesome presents: harujuku g, nylon, cosmo, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, what a champ
after the gym and a shower, it's really time to study
in the facebook world, everyone's a pokemon
D.S. is gyrados, S.K. is squirtle, F. is a vaporeon, L.B. is an eevee evolved into a jolteon, Y.K. is dragonite, M.K. is espeon,
looks like the favorites are squirtle, pikachu, and eevee

FRIDAY
early morning errands before leaving for newark,
last final ever in gym clothes, and D.S. and F. are off to new york
K. gets out from work, K&F reunite
off to the west end to A.'s west end home for some beer pong
K., F., and K.'s colleague A. meet a S. (from maine) and H. (from lb but doesn't know anyone they try to name)

SATURDAY
for evening festivities, F. and K. are off to T.T.,L.S.,D.S.' for a blizzard party on this fine blizzard evening
F. and K. originally supposed to dress up as snowmen,
F. wears flannel and just says she's a little kid who got to wear pajamas all day because it was a snow day
the pair are truly dedicated to the cause, walking from K.'s to get to on the run for beer (no id required thank you very much) and the cups,
therefore officially bringing the party
arriving at the house, the 3 boys were there along with A.C., B.G., C., and her cousin
team jason stackhouse play against team T. and A., sadly team J.S. loses
as well as the game later on, but its okay because items came out
A.C. was sad that he was not allowed to partake in any activities because he puked,
because like school, you give up all your rights once you enter that territory
K. and F. also playing pranks on L. and A., got 'em
D.S. is a gentleman, letting K. and F. sleep in his double/queen sized bed
T.T. is a gentleman, letting K. and F. borrow his shirts, stone cold steve austin and old school zelda, respectively

SUNDAY
a gentle wakeup call from T.T. warning them not to steal his shirts,
he heads to work while the girls make the journey back to K.'s
mama D. makes pancakes, sausage, and sunny side up eggs, perfect winter breakfast
it's a quiet night in for everyone,
can we all just wait for the snow to melt?

lots more weeks of this break,
you better watch out,
christmas next week...

xoxo G.G.

stayed up on my own terms for a while.. and then the pressure cooker turned on and i threw myself into sleep... forcing yourself to do so when your body has decided at 3 in the morning after 45 hours of being up straight, that you're not going to bother now, maybe try again later... its all kinda hard


le sigh... now that i've had three hours of sleep and then watching a movie i know gets me every time(crying at 7 in the morning isn't exactly my idea of a good Saturday morning)... i've had time to now (sort of) sanely address the situations at hand... *achem* drum roll please?


nope i got nothing.. i still don't have a plan, i still don't know what to say about it, and most of all i still don't know what happened really.. and as far as i've seen with my many years of wisdom (my wording for fucking shit up now and again) your situation is almost always fucked in one way or another if you can start relating the pieces into shapes... life and matters of the world apparently shouldn't work out geometrically.

at least after some sleep i feel like I'm not shaking for once... but i guess to the converse of that i have to note how my bones hurt from this oncoming blizzard planning on trapping me inside all weekend... and SOMEHOW i got sick (oh i wonder how?)... meh that's not what i need..


i've got myself a job with some good payment... step one to fixing my world is working towards being alright, now to just fix everything else...


one step at a time i guess... just one foot in front of the other and maybe this can all be worked out...

Anyway, I think somewhere in all this i made it clear that i don't know whats going to become of anything, but i remember having fun yesterday and even some the days before.. things could be ok if i could just wrap my head around one path i guess lol

hope all is well with everyone else, i dont have much time to take care of the starving masses around me, i think you'll all be ok
